Reviews

Definitely value for money...It will be a great addition to any woodwind teacher's, band director's, repair student's, and professional repairers bookcase. -- Dot Brodie, Namir * Namir * it is an excellent reference for a broad understanding of the woodwind family of instruments. For those wishing to embark on a career as a woodwind technician, or as Bangham calls them, a repairer, reading it from start to finish would provide a crucial breadth of knowledge from which to start ones journey. -- Ande Jacobson, agoodreedreview * agoodreedreview * It is a fantastic resource for woodwind educators, performers, novice technicians, advanced technicians, and everyone in between. -- Miles DeCastro, International Clarinet Association's "The Clarinet" * International Clarinet Association's "The Clarinet" * This is a wonderfully presented book full of photographs and diagrams. I enjoyed reading this book and consider this to be a more than worthy addition to your arsenal and library. -- Saxontheweb.net * Saxontheweb.net *

Daniel Bangham has been a woodwind technician, repairing and hand-making clarinets for over forty years. After training at Newark Technical College, he left to set up a repair business in Cambridge at the suggestion of Nicholas Shackleton, who wanted help looking after his collection of historic clarinets. A few years later, once the repair business was established, Daniel was invited back to Newark to become the visiting lecturer where he found his love for teaching. By the 1990s he was making instruments for international performers and his work featured as solo instruments on acclaimed recordings. He was also consulting for a number of other manufacturers, as well as managing his repair and retail shop called Woodwind & Reed. In the early 2000s Daniel set up a teaching workshop called Cambridge Woodwind Makers. This workshop gives a venue for visiting specialists to teach their specialist skills to students, who come from around the world.
